Salisbury Cathedral... Nhe!

joanaborralho1 contributionLisbon, PortugalApr 4, 2014

The weather was not great, wich I think influenced all the mood of the visit. Anyway, in England you seem to come across with a cathedral in every town center, so it wasn't a big woo-hoo for me. The Magna Carta copy was interesting though. Definitly, not a must see for me.

A Cathedral not to miss

My third time visiting Salisbury Cathedral, and I enjoyed it as much as the first time. This time we stayed for Evensong, and had a lovely time.

Salisbury Cathedral is a must see!

We had two visits to this wonderful cathedral. The first one was late afternoon for a quick visit and we stayed for the evensong service. The voices of the all male choir is magical when experienced from the choir area.
The second visit was early in the morning when the volunteer guides are not too busy. we had the individual attention of a very knowledgeable guide for more than two hours and were very impressed with his tour.

A beautiful bit of architecture

As interesting as the cathedral is, some of the small shops and museums which dot the cloister are even more so. A great way to spend an afternoon.

The day dawned pretty clear but by breakfast time it was raining but not enough for us to be tempted to stay a while. We may have been put off by likely arriving later in Salisbury and we were keen to have lunch there. So it was off in the rain with the jackets out for the first time since Spain. The rain was quite light and it only lasted about an …

The other night at dinner we were talking with Betsy, K&M about words that are over used or used inaccurately and how annoying it is... 'Penultimate' was one of them... Dean and I had a little laugh when John used the word today (correctly, thankfully).

This morning we got up at the crack of dawn to get into London by 7, as a bus was picking us up at the National Museum to take us on a day tour. We arrived in time and we turned out to be 3 out of 5 people on the whole tour.

First we drove through to Salisbury, which has a beautiful cathedral with the tallest spire in Britain and an …

I slept really well staying with my younger sister Kay and Dave at their relatively new home in Ringwood New Forest Hampshire. Surprisingly for me being a good sleeper, I awoke twice in the night (Jet lag I guess) but managed to fall asleep really quickly again. I awoke some hours later in the morning feeling relatively good, apart from a slight …

Woke to find Cameron and Craig not there. They arrived soon after and had woken at 5.15 am and gone to Stonehenge even though could not get in at that time. Had fine weather and got some great views and photos of the stones as the sun coming up. We packed and got to Stonehenge by 9.30 am after stopping for breakfast supplies. Already starting to …

I had an organised tour today, an Evan Evans Tour of Bath, Salisbury Cathedral and Stonehenge. The coach left from Victoria Coach Station just down from Victoria (train) Station. I had previously checked it out so that I had an idea where to go, but Victoria is so huge I got a bit lost. Luckily I recalled the skill of reading (all those years at …

Back to the theme thing I was taking about in an earlier post. The theme is still evolving and I think it will be multilevel. Things change on a daily basis as to what I'm going to be doing the rest of the trip. Arrangements have been made which does not allow for a joint trip …

So was an hour into this entry when I dozed for a second as I was copying this to the blog application and accidentally deleted it. So sadly in the interest of time and sanity this will be an abbreviated version and not nearly as (arguably) hilarious as the original...
